By contrast, glial cells seemed to be electrically silent and were dismissed as dull by most researchers. Some glia, called ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening ...

Researchers have found that neurons can burn and even make their own fat to power the brain. A faulty protein stops this ...

A small population of nerve cells appears to be responsible for blood flow and neural activity across the entire brain, findings that could have significant implications in the study of sleep, ...

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have identified a brain-like cluster of neurons in sea urchin larvae, traditionally ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

A new study in Clinical Nutrition provides evidence that the regular consumption of unsalted, skin-roasted peanuts may ...
